Abstract: Providing a remote control technique capable of realizing the achievement of constraints and the certain following of a target value even with a network in which delay, loss, distortion, or the like may occur. In a remote control system, an area setting unit of a client-side control unit sets at least two areas representative of a group of states of an target object, which changes over time by feedback control. A state-evaluation information sending unit sends, to the host-side control unit, state evaluation information obtained by evaluating the state of the target object based on the area set by the area setting unit. A target value setting unit of the host-side control unit sets a target value such that the state of the target object changes in the area set by the area setting units. Moreover, a target value updating unit updates the target value based on the state evaluation information received from the client-side control unit.

Abstract: The PWM signal generator of the present invention generates a first pulse waveform in which a first on-time ?T1 calculated by a first on-time calculator (401) is used as an on-duration, and a second pulse waveform in which a second on-time ?T2, calculated by a second on-time calculator (402) when a preset delay time has elapsed from the start of the calculation of the first on-time ?T1, is used as an on-duration. Also, a PWM signal generator (413) generates a PWM signal on the basis of a composite pulse in which the generated first pulse waveform and second pulse waveform are combined, and the first on-time calculator (401) calculates the first on-time ?T1 at the end of the composite pulse waveform.
